Round Robin Challenge: Childhood Memories

Hello Robins :)

A quick note: IF YOU DON'T READ THE FULL ENTRY YOU MIGHT MISS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO PLAY ALONG. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE FULL ENTRY!

Time for a new challenge! Save the date, Saturday February 13th 2010! And what will our challenge be? Glad you asked! It comes to us by way of our friend, and fellow blogger Monica, author of the blog, Shutterly Happy, and theme this time around will be:

"Childhood Memories."

Okay folks, get out your skates, and skate keys, your teddy bears, and your Matchbox cars and your imagination, of course, and take a giant step back in time to childhood. Simon says, share with us what you enjoyed in those carefree days so long ago. You are only limited by your imagination with this one, so why not let it out to play? Show us your Childhood Memories!

As always there are a few guidelines for participation...

1. DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE! It's not a race folks. You don't get to be first, in fact, all it does is confuse things on the day of the challenge, and it makes me grouchy, so please don't do it... ok?

2. Please give us your R.S.V.P. no later then the evening before we play, so we can add you to the Linking List for the next day. We ask that you give us your information in the following manner...

Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog
The Complete Address Of Where We Can Find Your Blog

EXAMPLE

Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com


Please don't make us come looking for you, ok? I can't make you follow the guidelines, but really folks, we have been playing the same way for over 5 years. Things get very busy on the day of the challenge, and Karen and I do our best to keep things updated in a timely manner, so please don't create additional work for us, ok?

3. If you are new to the challenges... WELCOME! Please sing out in the comments, so we can give you a proper welcome on the day of the challenge! We love new participants! It's also a good idea to read our Welcome Entry, which can be found on the sidebar.

4. You are not late for the challenge if you post after the Saturday date. You are welcome to post your entry anytime through the following Saturday. You will, however, have a better chance of having your entry be seen if you post on the day of the challenge. If you have to be late, let us know, and we will make a note next to your name on the Linking List, so folks know when to come looking.

5. After you post your entry, it's a good idea to comeback and let us know by leaving giving Karen and I a little nudge. Just say something like "Hey I have posted." It just makes things go faster.

Okie Doke that's it. If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email. Our contact information is available on the sidebar.

See you in a couple weeks!

-Carly

Round Robin Challenge for 1/30/10: Water

Hi, Robins! Well, we just had a look at Fire with our Candlelight topic, and before that we had the Earthy topic of Roots. So let's go for another of the four classical elements, shall we? The topic for Saturday, January 30th is

Water

as suggested by Angela of Chocolate Syrup for the Soul (her blog is readable by invitation only).


This is a wide-open topic to have fun with. What aspect of water will you show us with your camera? Running water? Bath water? Water in puddles, or water falling from the sky? A glass of water, half empty, or the edge of an ocean, spreading out as far as the camera can see? It's totally up to you!


We do have some guidelines, though, and from time to time it's good to remind folks of them, for people who are new to the Challenges and for people who lose track of details:


1. DO RSVP in the comments with your name or handle, the name of your blog and the blog's full URL, thus:

Yes, I'm prepared for water!


Noah
Two By Two
http://noreallyafloodiscoming.blogspot.com

Please include these details EVERY time you play. It helps us to compile the Linking List, and it cuts down on errors. People frequently change blogs, so don't expect us to assume it's the same blog as last time. Also, please proofread the URL before posting the comment. We tend to post the link you gave us, typo and all, which kind of makes it hard for anyone to reach your blog!


It's also helpful if you leave another comment after you've posted, to let us know your entry is up.


2. DO NOT post your entry before the Challenge date. The idea is for everyone to post on that date (or if necessary, up to six days thereafter), so that readers can conveniently visit all the entries. We don't want to scroll down to something you did two weeks ago.


3. DO make sure the entry is relevant to the Challenge. Occasionally someone leaves a link to something they posted that has little or nothing to do with the topic. At minimum your entry should mention the Round Robin Photo Challenges and the current topic. Otherwise, it's not really a Round Robin entry, is it? A link back to this blog is strongly encouraged, so that people can find every one else's entries and not just yours. A Linking List of participants is posted here around midnight as the Challenge date begins, and is updated over the next day or two. If you want to include this in your entry too, that would be most helpful.


A full set of guidelines is posted here. Please check it out if you are new to the Robins or have any questions. You can also email us with questions, concerns or future topic ideas. Our email addresses are on the sidebar.


Got it? Good! Start taking your watery photos, and get ready to post them on Saturday, January 30th. See you then!


Karen

Round Robin Challenge: Candlelight

Hello Robins! :)

Save the date for our next Round Robin Photo Challenge, Saturday, January 16th! The topic of the challenge will be "Candlelight." I hope you will be able to join us. If you can, but it has been a while since you have played, or if this is your first time participating, please read the guidelines for how we play this meme. Here are the most important guidelines to keep in mind...



1. If you want to join in, please R.S.V.P. your intention to play by submitting your information in the following manner...



Your Name
The Name Of Your Blog Or Website
The Full Internet Address Of Where It Can Be Found


Example



Carly
Ellipsis
http://ellipsissuddenlycarly.blogspot.com


2. Please DO NOT POST YOUR ENTRY PRIOR TO THE CHALLENGE DATE. It's not a race folks, you don't get any points for jumping the gun, and it makes it much more difficult for the other participants to find you on the day of the challenge, so please DO NOT POST EARLY.


3. When you post your entry, it's a good idea to comeback and leave us a little note in the comment thread indicating you have posted. We try to keep the Linking List updated throughout the day, and this will help us get you listed as soon as possible.


4. If you are playing for the first time, please let us know so we can give you a proper welcome.


There, that's all there is to it. Please folks, if you have any questions on how to play, or if you are unclear about anything, or if you simply want to submit an idea for an upcoming challenge, please feel free to drop either Karen or me an email. You can find out contact information on the sidebar.


Ok... see you guys back here on Saturday, January 16th! :)
